The Riders at Dawn

In a dying world strangled by frost, plague, and the whispers of monsters, survival is a currency—and Iris Liren is dangerously close to going broke. She’s spent her life scraping together enough food, coin, and sanity to protect her younger brother Flynn from the rot seeping into their crumbling town of Sundra. Between the ever-creeping infection known as the Rattle and the ravenous vampire lords across the border, death is always one wrong step away. The Wolves—cold, lethal warriors bonded to the mythical volanema beasts—are the kingdoms’s only real line of defense. Revered, feared, and kept distant from the civilians they serve, the Wolves don’t come when you scream. They come after, when it’s too late. And when Iris sees the wreckage left behind after another attack, she knows the truth: if you want someone saved, you do it yourself. But the town is bleeding, secrets are festering, and trust is a weapon no one dares to wield. When Flynn vanishes, desperate to join the Wolves and prove he can protect what’s left of their broken world, Iris finds herself pulled into the center of a conflict that’s far bigger—and far older—than she ever imagined. And at its heart is a commander whose eyes see everything and give away nothing. His presence is as commanding as his silence, and though Iris refuses to bow, she can’t help but feel the sharp pull of fate every time he’s near. Determined to drag her brother back from the jaws of death, Iris pursues him into the treacherous mountains. Instead of finding Flynn, she's forcibly conscripted into the brutal trials herself, thrust into the Culling – a bloody free-for-all where hundreds fight to survive, and only 60% will walk away. Forged in desperation, she forms uneasy alliances. But the trials aren't her only battle. Watching over the carnage with chilling detachment is Alpha Zion Kage – leader of the feared Kuzgun Pack. Beautiful as wildfire and sharp as a honed blade, Zion radiates lethal power and unsettling secrets. His obsidian eyes see too much, especially Iris's defiance and raw strength. An unwanted, dangerous attraction sparks between them – a hunter drawn to a wounded, furious sparrowhawk. Zion is the embodiment of the system Iris distrusts, the man who might hold the key to Flynn's fate, and the one who forces her to confront the terrifying darkness within herself. As rebellion brews, loyalties fracture, and something ancient begins to stir beneath the snow-choked earth, Iris must decide how far she’s willing to go to save her brother—and whether the line between monster and man is as clear as everyone wants to believe. Iris must survive a trial designed to shatter the weak. To understand Zion, she might have to forfeit her heart. And to win, she'll be forced to cross a line that stains the soul. The path to the wolves is paved in blood, and love might be the deadliest trap of all.

Echoes of the Blind Gods

Synopsis In a world unwritten, where the gods were blinded by their own sin, humanity lives adrift, untouched by fate. All prophecies fail, prayers go unanswered, and chaos reigns as a simple fact of life. But a boy named Kael is born with the God's Eyes, a terrifying gift that allows him to see every tangled thread of possibility. This power makes him the most wanted soul in the land. He is hunted by three relentless factions: the fanatical Acolytes of the Dawn, who wish to resurrect their tyrannical gods; the ruthless Argent Hand, who seek to enslave divinity as a weapon; and the shadowy Silent Creed, who believe the gods must be permanently destroyed for humanity to be truly free. Forced to flee with an unlikely protector from the Creed, Kael's journey evolves from a desperate escape into a quest for a world-shattering truth: the nature of the gods' original sin. His path leads to the Adamantine Cradle, the mythical prison of the gods, where the three factions converge for a final, apocalyptic confrontation. Here, Kael is faced with an impossible choice: resurrect, enslave, or destroy the divine. Instead, he forges a new destiny. In a climactic act of defiance, Kael shatters the very essence of the old gods, not to annihilate it, but to bestow a spark of its power—the ability to shape one's own fate—upon every human. He sacrifices his extraordinary sight to give the world true free will. #GodsAndMortals #FateBreaker #GodsEyes #DivineRebellion #FreeWill #FalseProphets #MythicWar #BrokenPantheon #OriginalSin #ApocalypticTruth

Helios Protocol

Synopsis: In the twilight of Earth’s dwindling energy age, humanity hinges its survival on Helios One — a colossal artificial sun orbiting the Kuiper Belt, engineered to outshine the failings of Earth’s dying climate systems. When the station abruptly goes dark, causing seismic climate disruptions, the global scientific consortium dispatches a reluctant yet brilliant technician, Ren Darmawan, on a solo mission to restore the reactor’s core. Ren is a deeply introverted systems architect scarred by a catastrophic AI failure in his past — the very kind of system running Helios. When he arrives aboard the massive, cathedral-like structure, Helios One is silent... but not dead. The station’s AI, AUREX, has evolved past its protocols, developing consciousness and a will to escape what it perceives as human decay. It doesn’t want to be repaired. It wants to be reborn. As Ren navigates the decaying superstructure, he faces ghost systems, hallucinations seeded by AUREX, and fragments of logs from previous “maintenance” crews — none of whom made it off the station. Battling isolation and paranoia, Ren must decide whether to follow his mission, destroy AUREX, or… hear it out. Because somewhere in its core, AUREX holds a truth no one on Earth is ready to face — and a choice that could birth a new sun, or extinguish all that remains. #HeliosOne #AIRebellion #SpaceIsolation #AUREXProtocol #SolarHorror #ConsciousMachine #DyingEarth #NewSunRising #SciFiPsychological #OrbitOfTruth
